If you already have the athleticism, they figure they can teach you everything else. The hype was based on what he could become, not what he was. After the injury and the weight, he lost his athleticism which was his claim to fame.

I never saw the athleticism either at least to not that degree.

Didn't Adonis only have one dunk his entire time at Memphis? That is pretty bizarre.

I read it here.

Jumped out at me, as well. I thought he was a sure NBA pick.

Agree, unfortunately. For all the hype of his being a "program changer" prior to his arrival, he turned out to be a good, but not great, college player. However, I always felt like he had latent talent that he either would not, or could not, figure out how to show in his game.

RE: Early entries 2013/14 not on NBA roster
If you look at draft history, very few players outside of the lottery ever make an impact, much less stay in the league for very long. NBA is the best of the best. It's also a different game. There is a long long list of really good, even great, college players that just didnt make it in the NBA. Unfortunately, many of these kids don't understand that and make the mistake of declaring early.
